Keeping toddler out of baby's crib??

Our two year old and 7 month old share a room. Until two days ago, it hasn't been a problem. Our toddler has figured out how to climb into the crib, which of course wakes the baby and all h%ll breaks loose.

Would a crib tent keep him out? We only have two bedrooms in our house so spliting them up in not an option. I have also tried extra soothing before bed in hopes that he falls right asleep. no luck.

any advice would be great.

TIA!

    Is your 2 y/o waking the baby up and climbing in for funsies or does the 2 y/o think the baby needs something?

    I am pretty sure the the toddler is climbing in there for fun. He also turns on the fisher price rainforest thing (which I have now taken out).

    He also is wanting to climb in the PNP all the time. I am wondering if this is a degression thing and he wants the security of the crib again... He is in a toddler bed and not a regular bed.

    My first reaction is to try a crib tent.

    My second is that you are on to something with the regression and I have no advice on how to fix that.  I'll think for/with you...

    Can the 7 mo old sleep in the PNP and the 2 year old in the crib?  Just to show him that he can still be the baby?  I would hope he would not want to sleep in the crib and then things could be back to normal again.

    Can you put the baby to bed after the toddler is already sleeping?? I assume you meant he does this after you put them both down.  After hes already sleeping, woul dhe wake up to do that?  THis way after a while he might forget.
